WANTED-A HEAD.

The fundamental defect in the water
works management is the absence Of a
head to it; it is an acephalous structure,
and to this one vital imperfection may be
attributed all the evils of what, in cour-
tesy, is called the management Of the
waterworks of Fort Worth. The respon-
sibility for the deficiency in the organize
ton need not be discussed, further than
to say that, as long as it is sought to
convert the works into political instru-
ment and to make Of them hospital for
disabled municipal politicians, the man
agement will be failure and the people
educated to surrender control to some
grinding private monopoly.
THE GAZETTE takes occasion to repeat
that time has emphasized the arguments
in favor of city ownership and control,
and with the future growth and expansion
of Fort Worth. these arguments will be-
come more emphatic; bat unless
business methods are applied to
the management of the works and
political considerations excluded alto
gether, they may be wrecked in the in
terest OF some would-be lessee or pur-
chaser, and the control thus forced out

THE great desert of Sahara will
soon pass away from the maps of the
world. Water has been discovered in
abundance in the lower Sahara by the
sinking of artesian wells, and already
forty-thre GASES furnish homes for IL, 900
inhabitants, where 10000 forest trees
flourish and 100000 fruit trees supply the
people with a rich harvest. French CAPT.
tai and energy has done this much and it
will not be long before other nations will
seek this means OF preparing place for
their surplus populations. The land is
exceedingly fertile and once water is
secured crops of sll kinds grow luxuriant-
ly. The camel and the caravan will soon
disappear and be known no more for ever,
and the railroad, the toll-gate, the primary
election will flourish on new ground.

thing missing about the reports of this
affsir. There was something lacking and
incomplete about it which only the con-
Meeting OF Americans with the affair
could round out and finish fairly. There
is one thing about the American, es-
pecially the American woman. There is
nothing on earth or in the waters be-
meath which is too good to be sold, pro-
viding it belongs to somebody else.

held, the management generously fur
nishing the music of the Galveston band
and dividing the proceeds among the
various churches. Exhibits are coming
in encouragingly. The promoters are hard
at work, and mean to make 1t successful.
Fully 80, 900 people are expected.
While this is only the first attempt OF
the kind ever made by the colored people
of the state, it is deserving of the
encouragement and support OF all
classes. The superficial observations
of northern tourists, who Judge
the negro. race by the samples
they meet around railroad depots, to the
contrary notwithstanding, the colored
man in the south is making commendsbie
strides towards prosperity and advanced
civilization. He hiss had but an indiffer-
ent start in the race of life, and his
career has been but brief one COM
paratiyely, but he is advancing. And
what is more encouraging still, the
struggle for material wealth has
been but of few years duration.
For number of years after the war when
the white man in the south was disfran-
chised the colored man was taught that
the inestimable benefits and blessings OF
freedom and citizenship were to be en-
| joyed only in voting ticket made by not
too scrupulous adyenturers who reward
| ed the colored leaders occasionally with
the Office of constable or policeman.
When reason returned and the dominant
race again secured control of the govern
ment OF the south, the colored man was
so outnumoered as to be driven from
politics and It's allurements. This has
been to him blessing in disguise. In
stead of making office-hoIding the height
of his ambition, he turned his
energies to the more practical
pursuits OF life, and soon began
finding his way into the profess
sions and productive fields. The result
has been that the race to-day is more
prosperous than it could hope to have
been otherwise, and that this
prosperity is forcing itself upon pub
lie notice by the fair to be hello
in this city, as well as in Other
ways. It is wisdom on the part Of the
white people OF the south to encourage al
these evidences of progression on the
part of the colored people. They are s
part of the citizenship Of the country
and the logic of events has shown tha'
their advancement means, in direct ratio
the advancement of the country.

To the Editor Of the Gazette.

Gus to the settlers OF Greer county. Fol

The waterworks can no more be man
aged successfully without head than
can any other business. II TIE
GAZETTE is correctly informed, the
gas works corporation employed an
English expert to teke charge.
The need was for some one who knew
his business, and the owners of the gas
works did not even restrict themselves
! to native born American, but secured
| for the work to be done the man who
was best qualified to perform it. THE
GAZETTE doubts If there is man in Fort
Worth who is competent to be superinten-
dent of the waterworks, and this doubt
can be expressed without discredit to any
man, for the business of managing water
works is one that requires training and
experience.
The works belong to the people and
were purchased by the people for the
peoples benefit and not to supply places
to political or personal favorites. The
accomplishment of the purpose of water
works lies in systematic management.
A superintendent should be secured who
is competent to manage them
regardless of where he may have been
born or where he lives; he should have
power of employment and discharge OF
every employe of the works save and ex-
cept the secretary. He should be appoint.
ed for two or four years, and re-
} movable only for Cause during the
! term of his employment, aRd
his term of Office should not be coeval
with the installation of the mayor or life
/ of any aldermanic term. The employees
of the works should not be officers Of the
J city, but dependent for their places upon
: and responsible to the head OF the watel
works management. An organization Of
this character, with business and not 6
} political head, would result in satisfac
tory service and profitable one.
If any lessee or any private owner car
manage the works profltablY, the city car
: do so by simply pursuing the methods
t that would govern the actions of individ
, usl or corporate ownership,

THE COLoRED STATE FAIR.

On to morrow the first annual state sgri-
cultural and industrial fair of the colored
people CT Texas will open up in this city
to continue for one week. The pro-
gramme is quite elaborate and everything
indicates a successful undertaking. The
promoters of the enterprise are num-
Der of the most substantial and represen
tative colored men Of Fort Worth who,
seeing that somewhere the initiative
must be taken, concluded that the grest
railroad center of Texas was the most
suitable place and they proceeded forth
with to raise the necessary funds and
make suitable arrangements. Ia this re-
spect they have met with the en-
couragement and liberal support
of our citizens who contribute d
cheeriully to the fund. The matter has
been thoroughly advertised all over the
state and the most encouraging reports
have been received from all quarters.
There is no attempt made to compete
with the white fair now being held in
Dallas, the promoters realizing that the
institutions, while inspired by the same
motives, were distinct and separate. Nor
Was it expected that in this, the first eff
fort, there would be an universal re-
Spouse; or that full representation OF
the progress and Advancement Of the col
ored people OF Texas could be secured.
It was the first and, like all first attempts,
had to encounter many difficulties which
will he unknown or unfelt at subsequent
fairs of the same character. The
committee has been agreeably sur
prised so far with the fattering
encouragement it has received and is
hopeful that the success of the fair will
be beyond all snticipations. Governor
Ross has promised, If his business would
permit, to deliver the opening address,
and, since he has communicated nothing
to the contrary, it is expected that he will
be here. In the event of his being de.
tanned unavoidably, some other OF the
state officers will be present to represent
him. A special train Will leave Calves
ton carving the colored band of that city,
which has won such praise and distinc-
ton at New Orleans while playing there
for the late exposition. sPassen-
gers will be picked up all along
the route, and large attendance is
looked for from that direction. On Sat-
urdsy next, which is designated "Educa-
tional Day." State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction Cooper will be present
to deliver an address on education, and
1000 colored school children will form a
chorus and sing several patriotic songs.
There will DE racing every day wherein
white and colored may participate, but
with this single exception everything else
will be strictly colored mans fair. 1t
Is contemplated extending the time one
dsy longer to include Sunday, which will
be designated "Church Day" during
which religious exercises, sacred
concerts and the like will be
